Angel Music: 3. Joy
Comment Share
"Joy" is movement 3 of "Angel Music", a set of three pieces for violin and piano inspired by American folk song.
piano classical violin chamber music
Nature-inspired, classically-based chamber music, choral pieces, and synthesized ambient tracks, -- quirky rhythms, spicy harmonies, catchy melodic bits
I compose music for chamber groups, orchestra, synthesizers, and off-beat instruments like mandolin ensemble. You'll hear beautiful sounds, dissonant harmonies, quirky rhythms. I'm inspired by nature, poetry, and any old sound - pots and pans, crystal glasses, wind and water, and especially birds. Influences include Bartok and Messiaen, sometimes a little bit of jazz and improvisation.

Story behind the song
I expanded instrumental interludes from one of the songs in my Christmas cantata Shepherds and Angels (setting American Christmas folk songs for chorus, vln & harp) into a violin recital piece (movement 3 in a set of three). In the cantata, these interludes were for the tune "Mary and the Baby, Sweet Lamb". I meant to use only the interludes between the verses, but the tune is so infectious that it crept back in, first implied, the played straight out at the end. This is a virtual-instrument demo.
